1/ Avoid localisation spin.
INGOs registered locally are not local organisations. These definitions are designed to protect INGOs and their funding sources.

2/ Adopt a transition mindset. INGOs and other non-local entities need to step back and allow local organisations to step forward. It's time to pass the mic!

4/ Encourage conversations with your local partners about power, who holds it and how it is wielded. Allow space for critique of your own power, both internally and with those you work with.
